BACKGROUND

Developmental disorders include Angelman syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, and Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger's syndrome, Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise characterized, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, Williams syndrome, and Jacobsen syndrome. Treatments for these disorders are limited.

Angelman syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by loss of function of the UBE3A gene encoding a ubiquitin E3 ligase. Characteristic features of this disorder include delayed development, intellectual disability, and severe speech impairment. Motor dysfunction is a characteristic feature of Angelman syndrome, e.g., problems with movement and balance (ataxia). M but neither the mechanisms of action nor effective therapeutic strategies have yet been elucidated.

Fragile X syndrome may be the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability and the most common single-gene cause of autism. It is caused by mutations on the fragile X mental retardation gene (FMR1) and lack of fragile X mental retardation protein, which in turn, leads to decreased inhibition of translation of many synaptic proteins. The main efforts have focused on metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) targeted treatments; however, investigation on the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system and its potential as a targeted treatment is less emphasized. The fragile X mouse models (Fmr1-knock out) show decreased GABA subunit receptors, decreased synthesis of GABA, increased catabolism of GABA, and overall decreased GABAergic input in many regions of the brain. These symptoms are also observed in individuals with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders, therefore the targeted treatments for Fragile X syndrome are leading the way in the treatment of other neurodevelopmental syndromes and autism. Potential GABAergic treatments have been discussed. However, further studies are needed to determine the safety and efficacy of GABAergic treatments for Fragile X syndrome.

Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a late-onset disorder, usually occurring after age 50. Mutations in the FMR1 gene increase the risk of developing FXTAS. The mutation relates to a DNA segment known as a CGG triplet repeat which is expanded within the FMR1 gene. Normally, this DNA segment is repeated from 5 to about 40 times. In people with FXTAS the CGG segment may be repeated 55 to 200 times. This mutation is known as an FMR1 gene premutation. An expansion of more than 200 repeats, a full mutation, causes Fragile X syndrome discussed above. FXTAS is typically characterized by problems with movement and thinking ability (cognition). FXTAS signs and symptoms usually worsen with age. Affected individuals have areas of damage in the cerebellum, the area of the brain that controls movement. Characteristic features of FXTAS are intention tremor, which is trembling or shaking of a limb when trying to perform a voluntary movement such as reaching for an object, and problems with coordination and balance (ataxia). Many affected individuals develop other movement problems, such as parkinsonism, which includes tremors when not moving (resting tremor), rigidity, and unusually slow movement (bradykinesia). In addition, affected individuals may have reduced sensation, numbness or tingling, pain, or muscle weakness in the lower limbs, and inability to control the bladder or bowel. Other symptoms may include chronic pain syndromes, such as fibromyalgia and chronic migraine, hypothyroidism, hypertension, insomnia, sleep apnea, vertigo, olfactory dysfunction, and hearing loss. People with FXTAS commonly have cognitive disabilities such as short-term memory loss and loss of executive function, which is the ability to plan and implement actions and develop problem-solving strategies. Loss of this function impairs skills such as impulse control, self-monitoring, focusing attention appropriately, and cognitive flexibility. Many people with FXTAS experience psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, depression, moodiness, or irritability.

There is currently no targeted therapeutic intervention that can arrest or reverse the pathogenesis of FXTAS. However a number of treatment approaches of potential symptomatic benefit have been suggested. Primidone, beta-blockers such as propanolol, topiramate, carbidopa/levodopa, and benzodiazepines have been suggested to control tremors associated with FXTAS; botulinum toxin for involuntary muscle activities, such as dystonia and spasticity; carbidopa/levodopa, amantadine and buspirone for ataxia; cholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil, and memantine (an NMDA antagonist) for cognitive deficits and dementia; and antidepressants and antipsychotics for psychiatric symptoms. See, e.g., Hagerman, et al., Clin Interv Aging. 2008 June; 3(2): 251-262.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior. Symptoms generally appear in the first two years of life. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), people with ASD may have: difficulty with communication and interaction with other people, restricted interests and repetitive behaviors, symptoms that hurt the person's ability to function properly in school, work, and other areas of life. Autism is known as a “spectrum” disorder because there is wide variation in the type and severity of symptoms people experience. Social communication/interaction behaviors may include: making little or inconsistent eye contact, tending not to look at or listen to people, rarely sharing enjoyment of objects or activities by pointing or showing things to others, failing to, or being slow to, respond to someone calling their name or to other verbal attempts to gain attention, having difficulties with the back and forth of conversation, often talking at length about a favorite subject without noticing that others are not interested or without giving others a chance to respond, having facial expressions, movements, and gestures that do not match what is being said, having an unusual tone of voice that may sound sing-song or flat and robot-like, having trouble understanding another person's point of view or being unable to predict or understand other people's actions. Restrictive/repetitive behaviors may include: repeating certain behaviors or having unusual behaviors, e.g., repeating words or phrases, a behavior called echolalia, having a lasting intense interest in certain topics, such as numbers, details, or facts, having overly focused interests, such as with moving objects or parts of objects, getting upset by slight changes in a routine, being more or less sensitive than other people to sensory input, such as light, noise, clothing, or temperature, people with ASD may also experience sleep problems and irritability. Although ASD can be a lifelong disorder, treatments and services can improve a person's symptoms and ability to function.

Asperger's syndrome (AS) is a developmental disorder classified within ASD, but characterized by a relatively high level of functioning. Individuals with Asperger syndrome exhibit impairment in social interaction and a repetitive, stereotyped pattern of behavior. The individual, however, displays no delay in language or cognitive development, which differentiates Asperger Syndrome from other aspects of autism. A distinguishing symptom of AS is a child's obsessive interest in a single object or topic to the exclusion of any other. Children with AS want to know everything about their topic of interest and their conversations with others will be about little else. Other characteristics of AS include repetitive routines or rituals; peculiarities in speech and language; socially and emotionally inappropriate behavior and the inability to interact successfully with peers; problems with non-verbal communication; and clumsy and uncoordinated motor movements.

Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) is a developmental disorder classified within ASD in which symptoms can vary widely from one child to the next. Overall, children with PDD-NOS can be characterized as having impaired social interaction, better language skills than children with autism but not as good as those with Asperger's syndrome, fewer repetitive behaviors than children with Asperger's syndrome or autism, and a possible later age of onset. Symptoms of PDD-NOS may include behavioral and communication problems such as difficulty using and understanding language, difficulty relating to people, objects, and events, e.g., lack of eye contact, pointing behavior, and lack of facial responses, unusual play with toys and other objects, difficulty with changes in routine or familiar surroundings, repetitive body movements or behavior patterns, such as hand flapping, hair twirling, foot tapping, or more complex movements, inability to cuddle or be comforted, difficulty regulating behaviors and emotions, which may result in temper tantrums, anxiety, and aggression, and emotional breakdowns.

Childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD) is a developmental disorder in which children develop normally through age 3 or 4. Then, over a few months, they lose language, motor, social, and other skills that they already learned. CDD has some similarity to autism, and may sometimes be considered a low-functioning form of autism. Typically, between the ages of 2 and 10, skills previously acquired are lost almost completely in at least two of the following six functional areas: 1. Expressive language skills, 2. receptive language skills, i.e., comprehension of language, 3. social skills and self-care skills, 4. bowel and bladder control, 5. play skills, and 6. motor skills. Lack of normal function or impairment also occurs in at least two of the following three areas: 1. social interaction, 2. communication, and 3. repetitive behavior and interest patterns.

Williams syndrome is a developmental disorder that affects many parts of the body. This condition is characterized by mild to moderate intellectual disability or learning problems, unique personality characteristics, distinctive facial features, and heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) problems. People with Williams syndrome typically have difficulty with visual-spatial tasks such as drawing and assembling puzzles, but they tend to do well on tasks that involve spoken language, music, and learning by repetition (rote memorization). Affected individuals have outgoing, engaging personalities and tend to take an extreme interest in other people. Attention deficit disorder (ADD), problems with anxiety, and phobias are common among people with this disorder. Young children with Williams syndrome have distinctive facial features including a broad forehead, a short nose with a broad tip, full cheeks, and a wide mouth with full lips. Many affected people have dental problems such as teeth that are small, widely spaced, crooked, or missing. In older children and adults, the face appears longer and more gaunt. Supravalvular aortic stenosis occurs frequently in people with Williams syndrome. Additional signs and symptoms of Williams syndrome include abnormalities of connective tissue such as joint problems and soft, loose skin. Affected people may also have increased calcium levels in the blood in infancy, developmental delays, problems with coordination, and short stature.

Jacobsen syndrome is a developmental disorder caused by a loss of genetic material from chromosome 11. Because this deletion occurs at the end (terminus) of the long (q) arm of chromosome 11, Jacobsen syndrome is also known as 11q terminal deletion disorder. The signs and symptoms of Jacobsen syndrome vary considerably. Most affected individuals have delayed development, including delays in the development of speech and motor skills (such as sitting, standing, and walking). Most also have cognitive impairment and learning difficulties. Behavioral problems have been reported, including compulsive behavior (such as shredding paper), a short attention span, and easy distractibility. Many people with Jacobsen syndrome have been diagnosed with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Jacobsen syndrome is also associated with an increased likelihood of autism spectrum disorders. Jacobsen syndrome is also characterized by distinctive facial features. These include small and low-set ears, widely set eyes (hypertelorism) with droopy eyelids (ptosis), skin folds covering the inner corner of the eyes (epicanthalfolds), a broad nasal bridge, downturned corners of the mouth, a thin upper lip, and a small lower jaw. Affected individuals often have a large head size (macrocephaly) and a skull abnormality called trigonocephaly, which gives the forehead a pointed appearance. Many people with Jacobsen syndrome have a bleeding disorder called Paris-Trousseau syndrome. This condition causes a lifelong risk of abnormal bleeding and easy bruising. Other features of Jacobsen syndrome can include heart defects, feeding difficulties in infancy, short stature, frequent ear and sinus infections, and skeletal abnormalities. The disorder can also affect the digestive system, kidneys, and genitalia.

A subject with mild cognitive impairment may display symptoms of dementia (e.g., difficulties with language or memory) but the severity of these symptoms is such that a diagnosis of dementia may not be appropriate.

One skilled in the art will appreciate that there are numerous human and animal models that may be used to evaluate and compare the relative safety and efficacy of (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid, (1S,3S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylidene)cyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid, a compound according to Formula I, or vigabatrin in connection with the treatment of the developmental disorders discussed above. In humans, cognitive function may be measured, for example and without limitation, by the clinical global impression of change scale (CGI); the Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) (aka the Folstein Test); the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI); the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR); the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB), the Sandoz Clinical Assessment-Geriatric (SCAG) scale, the Benton Visual Retention Test (BVRT), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) or Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST).

In animal model systems, cognitive function may be measured in various conventional ways known in the art, including using a Morris Water Navigation Task, Barnes maze, radial arm maze task, T maze and the like. Other tests known in the art may also be used to assess cognitive function, such as novel object recognition and odor recognition tasks.

Cognitive function may also be measured using imaging techniques such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), or any other imaging technique that allows one to measure brain function. In animals, cognitive function may also be measured with electrophysiological techniques.

The subject may be an animal, e.g., mammal, e.g., rodents, humans, etc. As used herein, the terms “treat”, “treatment” or “treating” encompass any manner in which symptoms or pathology of a condition, disorder or disease associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, Asperger's syndrome, Angelman syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, Williams Syndrome, or Jacobsen syndrome are ameliorated or otherwise beneficially altered. In embodiments, “treat”, “treatment” or “treating” can refer to inhibiting a disease or condition, e.g., arresting or reducing its development or at least one clinical or subclinical symptom thereof. In embodiments, “treat”, “treatment” or “treating” can refer to relieving the disease or condition, e.g., causing regression of the disease or condition or at least one of its clinical or subclinical symptoms. In embodiments, “treating cognitive impairment” means ameliorating, beneficially altering and/or providing relief from one or more of the symptoms of cognitive impairment. The benefit to a subject being treated may be statistically significant, mathematically significant, or at least perceptible to the subject and/or the physician.

In embodiments, the terms “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” refer to an amount of a compound, material, composition, medicament, or other material that is effective to achieve a particular pharmacological and/or physiologic effect in connection with symptoms of a developmental disorder herein such as, but not limited to, one or more of the following: reducing or eliminating difficulty in sucking, reducing or eliminating difficulty in feeding, reducing or eliminating motor dysfunction, reducing or eliminating poor muscle tone, reducing or eliminating hand flapping, increasing motor skills, increasing coordination, increasing bladder control, reducing or eliminating parkinsonism, reducing or eliminating repetitive body movements, reducing or eliminating intellectual disability, reducing or eliminating learning disability, reducing or eliminating delayed speech development, reducing or eliminating delayed language development, reducing or eliminating language processing problems, reducing or eliminating stuttering, reducing or eliminating loss of executive function, reducing or eliminating cognitive rigidity, reducing or eliminating emotional lability, enhancing impulse control, reducing or eliminating anxiety, reducing or eliminating hyperactivity, reducing or eliminating aggressive behavior, reducing or eliminating temper tantrums, reducing or eliminating uncontrolled laughter, reducing or eliminating obsessive-compulsive behavior, reducing or eliminating autistic symptomology, reducing or eliminating psychotic episodes, reducing or eliminating sleep disturbances, reducing or eliminating reduced pain sensitivity, reducing or eliminating reduced sensation, reducing or eliminating pain, reducing or eliminating fibromyalgia, reducing or eliminating chronic migraine, reducing or eliminating insomnia, reducing or eliminating vertigo, reducing or eliminating sensitivity to sensory input, reducing or eliminating cognitive impairment, enhancing cognitive function, increasing daytime activity, improving learning (either the rate or ease of learning), improving attention, improving social behavior, reducing or eliminating lack of eye contact, and/or improving cerebrovascular function. In embodiments, effective amount refers to an amount which may be suitable to prevent a decline in any one or more of the above qualities, or, in embodiments, to improve any one or more of the above qualities, for example, cognitive function or performance, learning rate or ability, problem solving ability, attention span and ability to focus on a task or problem, social behavior, and the like. Such effectiveness may be achieved, for example, by administering compositions described herein to an individual or to a population. In embodiments, the reduction, or delay of such a decline, or the improvement in an individual or population can be relative to a cohort, e.g., a control subject or a cohort population that has not received the treatment, or been administered the composition or medicament.

The dosage amount can vary according to a variety of factors such as subject-dependent variables (e.g., age, immune system, health, etc.), the disease or disorder being treated, as well as the route of administration and the pharmacokinetics of the agent being administered.

Many pharmaceutical products are administered as a fixed dose, at regular intervals, to achieve therapeutic efficacy. Duration of action is typically reflected by a drug's plasma half-life. Since efficacy is often dependent on sufficient exposure within the central nervous system administration of CNS drugs with a short half-life may require frequent maintenance dosing. The plasma elimination half-life of (1S,3S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylidene)cyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid is between about 4 to 6 hours. C_(max) increases in a dose proportional manner over a range of 5 mg-500 mg; whereas there is a greater than proportional increase in AUCs in the dose range. (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid is between 9 and 10 times more potent as an inactivator of GABA-AT than (1S,3S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylidene)cyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid and may exhibit similar pharmacokinetics. Vigabatrin ((RS)-4-aminohex-5-enoic acid) is rapidly absorbed, reaching peak concentrations within about 1 to 2.5 hours. Administration of a single 37-50 mg/kg dose of an oral solution of vigabatrin results in a t_(max) of approximately 2.5 hours in neonates and infants, and 1 hour in children. Area under plasma concentration-time curves indicated dose-linear pharmacokinetics. Despite the lack of protein binding, cerebrospinal concentrations of vigabatrin are 10% of the plasma concentration 6h after a single oral dose. The half-life of vigabatrin is between about 5 and 8 hours. The terminal half-life of vigabatrin is about 5.7 hours for infants (5 months-2 years), 9.5 hours for children (10 years-16 years), and 10.5 hours for adults.

In embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein may be administered by continuous infusion. In embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition described herein is provided to the subject in the morning. In embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition described herein is provided to the subject in the evening. In embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition described herein is provided to the subject once in the evening and once in the morning. In embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition described herein is provided to the subject once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening.

In embodiments, as mentioned previously, pharmaceutical compositions herein may be provided with conventional release or modified release profiles. Pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared using a pharmaceutically acceptable “carrier” composed of materials that are considered safe and effective. The “carrier” includes all components present in the pharmaceutical formulation other than the active ingredient or ingredients. The term “carrier” includes, but is not limited to, diluents, binders, lubricants, disintegrants, fillers, and coating compositions. Those with skill in the art are familiar with such pharmaceutical carriers and methods of compounding pharmaceutical compositions using such carriers.

In embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions herein are modified release dosage forms which provide modified release profiles. Modified release profiles may exhibit immediate release, delayed release, or extended release profiles. Conventional (or unmodified) release oral dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, suppositories, syrups, solutions and suspensions typically release medications into the mouth, stomach or intestines as the tablet, capsule shell or suppository dissolves, or, in the case of syrups, solutions and suspensions, when they are swallowed. The pattern of drug release from modified release (MR) dosage forms is deliberately changed from that of a conventional dosage form to achieve a desired therapeutic obj ective and/or better patient compliance. Types of MR drug products include orally disintegrating dosage forms (ODDFs) which provide immediate release, extended release dosage forms, delayed release dosage forms (e.g., enteric coated), and pulsatile release dosage forms.

An ODDF is a solid dosage form containing a medicinal substance or active ingredient which disintegrates rapidly, usually within a matter of seconds when placed upon the tongue. The disintegration time for ODDFs generally range from one or two seconds to about a minute. ODDFs are designed to disintegrate or dissolve rapidly on contact with saliva. This mode of administration can be beneficial to people who may have problems swallowing tablets whether it be from physical infirmity or psychiatric in nature. Subjects with Angelman syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, and Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger's syndrome, Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise characterized, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, Williams syndrome, or Jacobsen syndrome may exhibit such behavior. ODDF's can provide rapid delivery of medication to the blood stream through mucosa resulting in a rapid onset of action. Examples of ODDFs include orally disintegrating tablets, capsules and rapidly dissolving films and wafers.

Extended release dosage forms (ERDFs) have extended release profiles and are those that allow a reduction in dosing frequency as compared to that presented by a conventional dosage form, e.g., a solution or unmodified release dosage form. ERDFs provide a sustained duration of action of a drug. Suitable formulations which provide extended release profiles are well-known in the art. For example, coated slow release beads or granules (“beads” and “granules” are used interchangeably herein) in which one or more of (1S,3S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylidene)cyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid, (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid, or vigabatrin ((RS)-4-aminohex-5-enoic acid), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the preceding, is applied to beads, e.g., confectioners nonpareil beads, and then coated with conventional release retarding materials such as waxes, enteric coatings and the like. In embodiments, beads can be formed in which one or more a compound of Formula 1, (1S,3S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylidene)cyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid, (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid, or vigabatrin ((RS)-4-aminohex-5-enoic acid), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the preceding, is mixed with a material to provide a mass from which the drug leaches out. In embodiments, the beads may be engineered to provide different rates of release by varying characteristics of the coating or mass, e.g., thickness, porosity, using different materials, etc. Beads having different rates of release may be combined into a single dosage form to provide variable or continuous release. The beads can be contained in capsules or compressed into tablets.

In embodiments, modified dosage forms herein incorporate delayed release dosage forms having delayed release profiles. Delayed release dosage forms can include delayed release tablets or delayed release capsules. A delayed release tablet is a solid dosage form which releases a drug (or drugs) such as one or more of a compound of Formula 1, (1S,3S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylidene)cyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid, (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid, or vigabatrin ((RS)-4-aminohex-5-enoic acid), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the preceding, at a time other than promptly after administration. A delayed release capsule is a solid dosage form in which the drug is enclosed within either a hard or soft soluble container made from a suitable form of gelatin, and which releases a drug (or drugs) at a time other than promptly after administration. For example, enteric-coated tablets, capsules, particles and beads are well-known examples of delayed release dosage forms. Enteric coated tablets, capsules and particles and beads pass through the stomach and release the drug in the intestine. In embodiments, a delayed release tablet is a solid dosage form containing a conglomerate of medicinal particles that releases a drug (or drugs) at a time other than promptly after administration. In embodiments, the conglomerate of medicinal particles are covered with a coating which delays release of the drug. In embodiments, a delayed release capsule is a solid dosage form containing a conglomerate of medicinal particles that releases a drug (or drugs) at a time other than promptly after administration. In embodiments, the conglomerate of medicinal particles are covered with a coating which delays release of the drug.

Delayed release dosage forms are known to those skilled in the art. For example, coated delayed release beads or granules in which one or more of a compound of Formula 1, (1S,3S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylidene)cyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid, (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid, or vigabatrin ((RS)-4-aminohex-5-enoic acid), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the preceding, is applied to beads, e.g., confectioners nonpareil beads, and then coated with conventional release delaying materials such as waxes, enteric coatings and the like. In embodiments, beads can be formed in which one or more of a compound of Formula 1, (1S,3S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylidene)cyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid, (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid, or vigabatrin ((RS)-4-aminohex-5-enoic acid), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the preceding, is mixed with a material to provide a mass from which the drug leaches out. In embodiments, the beads may be engineered to provide different rates of release by varying characteristics of the coating or mass, e.g., thickness, porosity, using different materials, etc. In embodiments, enteric coated granules of one or more of a compound of Formula 1, (1S,3S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylidene)cyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid, (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid, or vigabatrin ((RS)-4-aminohex-5-enoic acid), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the preceding, can be contained in an enterically coated capsule or tablet which releases the granules in the small intestine. In embodiments, the granules have a coating which remains intact until the coated granules reach at least the ileum and thereafter provide a delayed release of the drug in the colon. Suitable enteric coating materials are well known in the art, e.g., Eudragit® coatings such methacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate polymers and others. The granules can be contained in capsules or compressed into tablets.

In embodiments, one or more of a compound of Formula 1, (1S,3S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylidene)cyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid, (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid, or vigabatrin ((RS)-4-aminohex-5-enoic acid), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the preceding, is incorporated into porous inert carriers that provide delayed release profiles. In embodiments, the porous inert carriers incorporate channels or passages from which the drug diffuses into surrounding fluids. In embodiments, one or more of a compound of Formula 1, (1S,3S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylidene)cyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid, (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid, or vigabatrin ((RS)-4-aminohex-5-enoic acid), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the preceding, is incorporated into an ion-exchange resin to provide a delayed release profile. Delayed action may result from a predetermined rate of release of the drug from the resin when the drug-resin complex contacts gastrointestinal fluids and the ionic constituents dissolved therein. In embodiments, membranes are utilized to control rate of release from drug containing reservoirs. In embodiments, liquid preparations may also be utilized to provide a delayed release profile. For example, a liquid preparation consisting of solid particles dispersed throughout a liquid phase in which the particles are not soluble.

Effect of (S)-3-Amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid on Fmr1 Knock-Out Mice

Mutant fmr1 knockout (KO) mice recapitulate the Fragile X syndrome (FXS) phenotype and represent a preclinical model for assessment of putative drug treatments. In this study three different mice models of FXS were used: Fmr1 KO1 is the original Fmr1 knockout animal that carries an insertion in exon 5. See, e.g., Bakker C E, et al., The Dutch-Belgian Fragile X Consortium, Fmr1 knockout mice: A model to study fragile X mental retardation. Cell. 1994; 78:23-33 It is a protein null, although Fmr1 mRNA is still present. It is backcrossed to the C57/Bl6 strain. Subsequently, these mice were bred into different background strains, such as the FVB inbred mouse strain. Fmr1 KO2 is a null allele at Fmr1 generated by deletion of the promoter and first exon of Fmr1. See, Mientjes, E J et al., The generation of a conditional Fmr1 knock out mouse model to study Fmrp function in vivo. Neurobiology of Disease (2006) 21(3): 549-555. It is both protein and mRNA null. Backcrossed to the C57/Bl6 strain. Genotyping was accomplished using TransnetXY Automated Genotyping (http://www.transnetyx.com/). TRANSNETYX, INC., 8110 Cordova Rd. Suite 119, Cordova, Tenn. 38016, USA.

The mice were housed in plastic cages (35×30×12 cm), 5 in each and habituated to the animal facilities for at least a week before test. The room temperature (21±2° C.), relative humidity (55±5%), a 12-h light-dark cycle (lights on 7 a.m.-7 p.m.) and air exchange (16 times per h) were automatically controlled. The animals had free access to commercial food pellets and water. Testing was conducted during the light phase. Testing was conducted on Fmr1 knockout mice and their wild-type (WT) littermates. Ten mice per treatment group, 14 weeks of age, were used for behavioral experiments. Experiments were conducted in line with the requirements of the UK Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act, 1986.

Oral dosing was performed by using 1.5-in. curved, 20-gauge, stainless steel feeding needles with a 2.25-mm ball (Braintree Scientific, Braintree, Mass.). Each gavage treatment was given in 0.5% methyl cellulose (Methyl Cellulose M0512, Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, Mo.) used as vehicle with or without treatment compounds. The same veterinarian, blinded to the treatment groups, performed the procedure, and documented animal reactions to oral gavage. Reactions considered to indicate stress were defined as excessive struggling during gavage or abnormal behavior after gavage (labored breathing, frozen stance, exaggerated jumping, shuddering, and hunched posture). If mice demonstrated any of these signs during gavage itself or the 10 seconds immediately after the procedure, the procedure was scored as a stressful event, and the animal removed from the study.

For experiments all mice were tested once in the same apparatus. Prior to testing, mice not in the study were placed in the apparatus for some minutes before the experiment. The apparatus was then cleaned with moist and dry tissues before testing each mouse. The aim was to create a low but constant background mouse odor for all experimental subjects. All experiments were conducted with the experimenters blind to genotype and drug treatment during all testing and data analysis. Separate investigators prepared and coded dosing solutions, allocated the mice to the study treatment groups, dosed the animals, and collected the behavioral data. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by post-hoc comparisons where appropriate using Tukey's Multiple Comparison Test. Data are represented as the mean and standard error of the mean (SEM).

Group Dosing route Dosing n 1a WT-Veh PO (0.5% QD for seven days 10 Methylcellulose prior to testing at 5 mL/kg) 1b KO2-Veh PO (0.5% QD for seven days 10 Methylcellulose prior to testing at 5 mL/kg) 1c KO2-Compound PO (0.5% QD for seven days 10 (0.01 mg/kg) Methylcellulose prior to testing at 5 mL/kg) 1d KO2-Compound PO (0.5% QD for seven days 10 (0.05 mg/kg) Methylcellulose prior to testing at 5 mL/kg) 1e KO2-Compound PO (0.5% QD for seven days 10 (0.1 mg/kg) Methylcellulose prior to testing at 5 mL/kg)

Test Criteria:

1. Open Field (hyperactivity)

2. Open Field Repetitive Behaviors (stereotypies: anti-clockwise circling and self-grooming)

3. Tests of daily living (nesting)

4. Hyponeophagia (anxiety)

Results:

1. Open field hyperactivity is demonstrated by locomotor activity in the open field. FIG. 1 is a bar graph illustrating open field locomotor activity (total distance traveled) of wild-type mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose vehicle, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose vehicle, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.01 mg/kg, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.05 mg/kg, and Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.1 mg/kg.

ANOVA summary: F-32.09, P value-<0.0001, P value summary ****, significant difference among means (P<0.05)—yes, R square-0.732. Multiple comparisons test are provided in Table 2.

TABLE 2 Adjusted Multiple comparisons test Significant? Summary P Value WT-Veh vs. KO2-Veh Yes **** 0.0001 WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound Yes **** 0.0001 0.01 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound Yes * 0.0174 0.05 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound No ns 0.6927 0.1 mg/Kg

As can be seen from FIG. 1, Fmr1 KO2 animals were more active than WT littermates in the open field (p<0.0001) and this hyperactivity was significantly reduced by (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid treatment at 0.1 mg/Kg.

2. Open Field Repetitive Behaviors (stereotypies: anticlockwise circling (aka counter revolutions) (CCW) and self grooming). niFmr KO2 mice display the autism-like phenotypes of repetitive behaviors like CCW, self grooming and stereotypy that typically involves behaviors such as head bobbing.

A. CCW: FIG. 2 is a bar graph illustrating open field counter revolutions of wild-type mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose vehicle, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.01 mg/kg, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.05 mg/kg, and Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.1 mg/kg.

ANOVA summary: F-24.34, P value-<0.0001, P value summary ****, significant difference among means (P<0.05)—yes, R square-0.6839. CCW multiple comparisons test are provided in Table 3.

TABLE 3 Adjusted P Multiple comparisons test Significant? Summary Value WT-Veh vs. KO2-Veh Yes **** 0.0001 WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound Yes **** 0.0001 0.01 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound No ns 0.7956 0.05 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound No ns 0.9996 0.1 mg/Kg

As can be seen from FIG. 2, Fmr1 KO2+vehicle revolved in the CCW direction significantly more than WT+vehicle (p<0.0001). This phenotype was rescued by (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid at 0.05 and 0.1 mg/Kg, because CCW revolutions were significantly lower than in Fmr1 KO2+vehicle but similar to CCW revolutions in WT+vehicle.

B. Self grooming: FIG. 3 is a bar graph illustrating time spent grooming by wild-type mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose vehicle, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.01 mg/kg, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.05 mg/kg, and Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.1 mg/kg. ANOVA summary: F-56.67, P value-<0.0001, P value summary ****, significant difference among means (P<0.05)—yes, R square-0.8344. CCW multiple comparisons test are provided in Table 4.

TABLE 4 Adjusted P Multiple comparisons test Significant? Summary Value WT-Veh vs. KO2-Veh Yes **** 0.0001 WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound Yes **** 0.0001 0.01 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound No ns 0.1434 0.05 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound No ns 0.7018 0.1 mg/Kg

As can be seen from FIG. 3, Fmr1 KO2 mice exhibit abnormal self grooming. Fmr1 KO2+vehicle self groomed significantly more than WT+vehicle (p<0.0001). This phenotype was rescued by S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid at 0.05 and 0.1 mg/Kg.

C. Stereotypy: FIG. 4 is a bar graph illustrating stereotypy count by wild-type mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose vehicle, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.01 mg/kg, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.05 mg/kg, and Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.1 mg/kg. ANOVA summary: F-26.13, P value-<0.0001, P value summary ****, significant difference among means (P<0.05)—yes, R square-0.699. Sterotypy count multiple comparisons test are provided in Table 5.

TABLE 5 Adjusted P Multiple comparisons test Significant? Summary Value WT-Veh vs. KO2-Veh Yes **** 0.0001 WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound Yes *** 0.0001 0.01 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound No ns 0.1679 0.05 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound No ns 0.9520 0.1 mg/Kg

As can be seen from FIG. 4, Fmr1 KO2+vehicle exhibited higher levels of stereotypy counts compared with WT+veh, and this phenotype was reversed by S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid at 0.05 and 0.1 mg/Kg.

3. Tests of daily living (nesting). Species-typical behaviors offer easy ways to test for hippocampal dysfunction. The hippocampus is vital for the performance of species-typical tasks, or “activities of daily living” of mice. FIG. 5 is a bar graph illustrating nesting behavior by wild-type mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose vehicle, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.01 mg/kg, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.05 mg/kg, and Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.1 mg/kg.

ANOVA summary: F-42.33, P value-<0.0001, P value summary ****, significant difference among means (P<0.05)—yes, R square-0.79. Nesting multiple comparisons test are provided in Table 6.

TABLE 6 Adjusted P Multiple comparisons test Significant? Summary Value WT-Veh vs. KO2-Veh Yes **** 0.0001 WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound Yes *** 0.0001 0.01 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound No ns 0.0924 0.05 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound No ns 0.5110 0.1 mg/Kg

As can be seen from FIG. 5, Fmr1 KO2 mice showed poorer nest building than WT littermates. This phenotype was rescued by (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid at 0.05 and 0.1 mg/Kg.

4. Hyponeophagia (inhibition of feeding) is used as a measure of anxiety which can be produced by a novel environment, particularly in rodents. FIG. 6 is a bar graph latency to eat behavior (novel food in a novel environment) by wild-type mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose vehicle, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.01 mg/kg, Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.05 mg/kg, and Fmr1 KO2 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.1 mg/kg. ANOVA summary: F-63.24, P value-<0.0001, P value summary ****, significant difference among means (P<0.05)—yes, R square-0.79. Hyponeophagia multiple comparisons test are provided in Table 7.

TABLE 7 Adjusted P Multiple comparisons test Significant? Summary Value WT-Veh vs. KO2-Veh Yes **** 0.0001 WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound Yes **** 0.0001 0.01 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound No ns 0.0759 0.05 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO2-Compound No ns 0.8342 0.1 mg/Kg

In the hyponeophagia test, which assesses a specific type of anxiety—eating a novel food in a novel environmental context and as can be seen from FIG. 6, Fmr1 KO2 mice showed a significantly higher latency to eat than WT controls, indicating that they were much more anxious. (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid at 0.05 and 0.1 mg/Kg had a strong effect in Fmr1 KO2 decreasing their latency to eat to virtually control levels. Thus, (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid showed strong restorative effects in this preclinical model of FX syndrome.

As can be seen from FIG. 7, at 0.1 mg/Kg (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid reversed hyperactivity in Fmr1 KO1 mice. Fmr1 KO1 mice were more active in the open-field test than were WT littermates. However, this increase in motor activity was reversed by treatment with (S)-3-Amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid; these values were not significantly different than WT+veh.

2. Open Field Repetitive Behaviors (RB) (stereotypies: anticlockwise circling and self grooming). Fmr1 KO1 mice display the autism-like phenotypes of repetitive behaviors like counter revolutions (CCW), self grooming and stereotypy that typically involves behaviors such as head bobbing.

A. CCW: FIG. 8 is a bar graph illustrating open field counter revolutions of wild-type mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose vehicle, Fmr1 KO1 mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose, Fmr1 KO1 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.01 mg/kg, Fmr1 KO1 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.05 mg/kg, and Fmr1 KO1 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.1 mg/kg.

As can be seen from FIG. 8, Fmr1 KO1+veh made more counterclockwise revolutions than WT+veh. (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid reversed CCW repetitive behavior in Fmr1 KO1 mice at 0.05 and 0.1 mg/Kg. Fmr1 KO+(S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid did not differ from WT+veh.

B. Self grooming: FIG. 9 is a bar graph illustrating time spent grooming by wild-type mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose vehicle, Fmr1 KO1 mice administered 0.5%0 methyl cellulose, Fmr1 KO1 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.01 mg/kg, Fmr1 KO1 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.05 mg/kg, and Fmr1 KO1 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.1 mg/kg.

ANOVA summary: F-55.31, P value-<0.0001, P value summary ****, significant difference among means (P<0.05)—yes, R square-0.831. Self grooming multiple comparisons test are provided in Table 11.

TABLE 11 Adjusted P Multiple comparisons test Significant? Summary Value WT-Veh vs. KO1-Veh Yes **** 0.0001 WT-Veh vs. KO1-Compound Yes *** 0.0001 0.01 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO1-Compound No ns 0.2624 0.05 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO1-Compound No ns 0.9999 0.1 mg/Kg

As can be seen from FIG. 9, Fmr1 KO1+veh spent more time self-grooming than WT+veh and (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid treated Fmr1 KO1 at 0.05 and 0.1 mg/Kg. Fmr1 KO1+(S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid did not differ from WT+veh.

C. Stereotypy: FIG. 10 is a bar graph illustrating stereotypy count by wild-type mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose vehicle, Fmr1 KO1 mice administered 0.5% methyl cellulose, Fmr1 KO1 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.01 mg/kg, Fmr1 KO1 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.05 mg/kg, and Fmr1 KO1 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.1 mg/kg.

ANOVA summary: F-31.32, P value-<0.0001, P value summary ****, significant difference among means (P<0.05)—yes, R square-0.7357. Sterotypy count multiple comparisons test are provided in Table 12.

TABLE 12 Adjusted P Multiple comparisons test Significant? Summary Value WT-Veh vs. KO1-Veh Yes **** 0.0001 WT-Veh vs. KO1-Compound Yes *** 0.0009 0.01 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO1-Compound No ns 0.7637 0.05 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO1-Compound No ns 0.9999 0.1 mg/Kg

As can be seen from FIG. 10, Fmr1 KO1+veh made more stereotypical movements than WT+veh. Repetitive behaviors were decreased by S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid treatment at 0.05 and 0.1 mg/Kg.

3. Tests of daily living (Nesting): FIG. 11 is a bar graph illustrating nest building quality by wild-type mice administered 0.50% methyl cellulose vehicle, Fmr1 KO1 mice administered 0.5%0 methyl cellulose, Fmr1 KO1 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.01 mg/kg, Fmr1 KO1 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.05 mg/kg, and Fmr1 KO1 mice administered (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid 0.1 mg/kg.

ANOVA summary: F-45.92, P value-<0.0001, P value summary ****, significant difference among means (P<0.05)—yes, R square-0.8032. Nesting multiple comparisons test are provided in Table 13.

TABLE 13 Adjusted P Multiple comparisons test Significant? Summary Value WT-Veh vs. KO1-Veh Yes **** 0.0001 WT-Veh vs. KO1-Compound Yes *** 0.0001 0.01 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO1-Compound No ns 0.5648 0.05 mg/Kg WT-Veh vs. KO1-Compound No ns 0.9313 0.1 mg/Kg

As can be seen from FIG. 11, Fmr1 KO1 mice build nests of poorer quality than WT littermates. (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid rescues poor nesting behavior at 0.05 and 0.1 mg/Kg. Poor nesting behavior is associated with the medial prefrontal cortex, ventral tegmental area and hippocampus of the mice.

4. Audiogenic Seizures (AGS) are reflex seizures generated by loud noises in genetically predisposed mice. The Fmr1 KO1 mice display audiogenic seizures depending on age and background strain, the Fmr1 KO1 mouse on the FVB background is characterized by an increased AGS susceptibility at all ages and is considered a good animal model for epilepsy. The effect of (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid was tested on AGS Fmr1 KO1 transgenic mice in an FVB background. Observable criteria are: 1. normal behavior, 2. wild running, 3. seizure, and 4. respiratory arrest.

(S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid was administered to Fmr1 KO1 mice, males, age 2 months in the following amounts: 0.01 mg/kg, 0.05 mg/kg, and 0.1 mg/kg. Positive controls were administered 2-Methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)pyridine (MPEP), a mGluR5 antagonist, 30 mg/kg by i.p. and tested 20 minutes after injection. Audio stimulus was administered continuously for 60 seconds at 124 db. Observable results are shown in Table 14.

TABLE 14 Wild Respiratory Doses running Seizure arrest Incidence WT-Vehicle  0/10 0/10 0/10 0% Fmr1 KO1-Vehicle 10/10 10/10  6/10 100% Fmr1 KO1-MPEP  0/10 0/10 0/10 0% Fmr1 KO1-Compound 10/10 10/10  7/10 100% 0.01 mg/kg Fmr1 KO1-Compound 10/10 8/10 5/10 100% 0.05 mg/kg Fmr1 KO1-Compound  4/10 5/10 4/10 40% 0.1 mg/kg

Audiogenic seizure susceptibility was reduced to 40% in Fmr1 KO1 mice treated by (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid at 0.1 mg/Kg.

CONCLUSION

(S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid provided a significant ameliorating effect in both Fmr1 KO2 and Fmr1 KO1 phenotypes in multiple domains. Fmr1 KO2 and Fmr1 KO1 mice showed behavioral abnormalities in increased hyperactivity and repetitive behavior (FIGS. 1-4 and FIGS. 7-10). (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid modulated the reversions of these behavioral abnormalities at concentrations 0.05 and 0.1 mg/Kg. Fmr1 KO2 animals showed increased anxiety-like behavior (AIM 1 FIG. 6). (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid at 0.05 and 0.1 mg/Kg had a strong effect in decreasing their anxiety—latency to eat—to virtually control levels. Thus, (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid showed strong restorative effects in this preclinical model of FX syndrome (AIM 1 FIG. 6). This summary of the data suggests that behavior abnormalities (i.e., altered hyperactivity, repetitive behaviors, activities of daily living and anxiety) were overall corrected by (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid in the Fmr1 KO2 and Fmr1 KO2 models at 0.05 and 0.1 mg/Kg. Furthermore, epilepsy-like behavior (AGS) was also clearly altered in the Fmr1 KO1 mice (FVB background) and (S)-3-amino-4-(difluoromethylenyl) cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid at 0.1 was effective in reducing seizures to 40%.
